DESCRIPTION:

Midnight was picked up as a stray. He was brought to a shelter while he waited for his family to come and claim him. Although this sweet guy waited patiently, no one stepped forward for him. As shelters are struggling to meet the overwhelming needs within their communities, unfortunately, many dogs are euthanized as stray holds end. With an amazing personality, shelter staff worried that Midnight wouldn't survive if help didn't arrive fast. He was immediately a staff favorite. He was so even-tempered and well-socialized that the shelter staff would use him as a dog tester for the other shelter dogs. Recognizing that a rescue could find a good home for him, the call for help was sent out. Team MAGSR knew that Midnight was special; we welcomed him to the family and promised to find him an amazing home.

Unfortunately, we have just discovered that he is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have been avoided if he was kept on monthly preventatives. Heartworm treatment is expensive. However, we know that Midnight is more than worth the cost. He will be undergoing heartworm treatment and taking it easy over the next few months. Please consider donating to Midnight's care. Not only will your donation help Midnight move forward, but it will help us continue to welcome dogs with medical needs. Midnight is hoping to find an incredible forever family that will have the time, patience, and leadership needed to help him succeed. If Midnight sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet him today!

DESCRIPTION:

Amazing Andora and her "A Litter" puppies (Annette, Aime, and Abu) were dumped at a crowded shelter. With limited resources and overwhelming numbers, the shelter could not provide for this family. Although they did everything they could to help all members of the family move forward, shelter staff knew that without rescue help, this family would likely be euthanized as spaces are simply not available. Fortunately, rescue groups began working together to help the entire family move forward safely. When asked if we could provide a safe place to land, we were lucky to be able to team up with another local group in order to ensure that all members of the family moved forward safely. 

Andora and her babies are friendly, interactive, and beyond lovable. Annette is active, engaging, and always up for a snuggle. She is playful and curious but can be a little hesitant when first introduced to new things. Given a moment to explore, Annette is happy to learn about the world around her. A huge fan of toys, Annette, like her siblings, loves all things, rolly, squeaky, and crunchy. She is hoping her forever family has plenty of toys to keep her occupied. Living in a foster home with other dogs and cats, Annette is lucky to be gaining experiences with a variety of other creatures. As this little lady moves forward it is critical that her forever family continues to provide Annette with opportunities to socialize with new people, other animals, and in new environments. This will help Annette develop into a stable and confident adult dog. Although Annette is a love, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with endless puppy antics. With time, training, patience, and socialization, we are sure that Annette will develop into the good canine citizen we know she is destined to be. If Annettte sounds like the right match for your family, put in your application today! The "A Litter" puppies will be available for adoption as of May 1st.

Updates:

Little Miss Annette has been living with one of our amazing foster families for a couple of weeks. This little bundle of cuddles has been a ray of sunshine in her home. Adventurous, playful, and a huge fan of other animals and kids, Annette has an impressive personality for such a little pup. With structure and routine established in her foster home, Annette has been making huge strides with housebreaking and crate training. She is very good about keeping her crate clean and settles very nicely when given breaks. Not afraid to learn new things, Annette has learned the joys of new toys, new environments, and has even discovered the excitement of going up and down the stairs. Her puppy antics simply fill the home with giggles and joy. Annette is looking for a forever family of her very own. If she sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today!

DESCRIPTION:

Marley and her seven incredible Disney puppies (Jasmine, Eric, Phillip, Aladdin, Aurora, Ariel, and Belle) were dumped at a shelter that was over-capacity. Although Marley is an incredible mom who was doing everything to help her babies grow, a crowded shelter environment is not a safe place for any animal, particularly a young family. Recognizing that Marley and her babies needed help and fast, the shelter immediately sent out a plea for help. As puppy season is in full swing, many rescues have been inundated with puppies. This situation has further elevated the importance of spaying and neutering pets as the number of homeless animals is simply unsustainable. Rescues want to help; however, many groups are just as overwhelmed as the shelters. Fortunately, MAGSR's incredible team came together to help Marley and her pups move forward in the safety of the rescue family. 

The Disney puppies and their phenomenal mother, Marley, have been living with one of our amazing foster families. Surrounded by loving and caring people, each member of the family has had all that they needed and more. These babies have had endless opportunities to learn, grow, and explore. This socialization is essential to their success. As the Disney puppies move forward, their families will need to continue to socialize them with varied people, animals, and in different environments. This will help all of the babies develop into stable and confident adults. Although they are being raised together, each of these babies has unique qualities. Ariel, just like her Disney moniker, is spirited, curious, and trying to find her independence. Ariel is always up for a good adventure. Although Ariel is cute as a button, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your household with endless puppy antics. With time, training, patience and routine, we know that Ariel will develop into a good canine citizen. If your household is ready to welcome this little love into your home, please ask to meet her today!

DESCRIPTION:

Lolly is nothing short of a survivor. This girl was picked up as a stray with another female dog who it was assumed was her sister and brought to a crowded shelter. Both girls were in poor condition. Emaciated, missing fur, covered in a skin sores, and heartworm positive, they entered the shelter just as a distemper outbreak occurred. Although both girls were very sweet, they were quickly added to the list for euthanasia. Luckily, they were pulled from the euthanasia room at the last second by another rescue when an incredible foster stepped up to help. Not all fosters are ready for one dog, but this one was open to two. 

The girls were tightly bonded and were lucky to leave with their lives. Shortly after they arrived in care, Lolly's sister popped positive with distemper. This virus is often extremely challenging and takes many lives. Although she fought hard, Lolly's sister did not survive leaving Lolly alone and grieving. Her foster made sure Lolly had everything she needed to keep moving forward. He quarantined Lolly to make sure that she did not come down with the virus, kept her company, and began addressing her other medical needs. With her skin issues addressed, her weight back up where it belongs, and her heartworm's gone, Lolly has made huge strides. After months of recovery, Lolly is ready to find a forever family of her very own thanks to the love and support of her foster dad. 

Lovely Lolly is an interactive girl. She enjoys the company of her human and canine companions. Now that she can be a dog, Lolly enjoys romping around outside. She has learned the joys of toys and a comfortable bed. Having lived with a foster for the last several months, Lolly has also been learning the ins and outs of living in a home. However, as is true of any new dog, this girl will need a chance to adjust to the routines and expectations of her forever family. A home with clear routines, structure, and leadership will help her thrive. Training will also go a long way with Lolly. Not only will training help her bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Lolly is looking for that special family that will cherish her for a lifetime. Could that be with you?

Updates:

Lolly is still decompressing- she is very sweet, affectionate and wants to be a small lap dog- but she can’t because she is too big!  This southern cutie came up in the freezing cold and is handling her transition changes very well.  She discovered she enjoys snow, and it tastes good! Lolly is house trained, and is doing well with crate training. She is enjoying being with other dogs around her size.  This is one food motivated pup which will be good for the basic training she was never taught.

DESCRIPTION:

The Neverland Litter (Hook, Pan, Wendy, Tootles, Pockets, Cubby, Nana, Nibs, Rufio, and Tink) was born on a property that is known for breeding and selling puppies. When these babies turned six weeks old, the owner dropped them along with a second litter at a shelter. Unfortunately, the shelter, like so many others, was sitting at critical capacity and knew they needed help moving the babies forward. Recognizing that a rescue would be the best option for these babies, a plea went out to GSD rescues up and down the coast for help. With puppy season in full swing, many groups are inundated with babies needing a safe place to move forward. When asked if we could welcome this group to the family, team MAGSR stepped forward. 

The Neverland puppies are playful, interactive, and social puppies. Although they did not have the easiest start, they have had many different people in their corner since their arrival at the shelter. In the last few weeks, these babies have had many opportunities to start socializing with new people and in a variety of situations. Socialization is essential to their success; it is critical to their forever families continue this process. Living with some of our amazing foster families, these babies are learning the ins and outs of living in a home. They are learning all about the joys of good food, daily playtime, structure and routine. Although Hook and his siblings are beyond precious, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your household with endless puppy antics. With time, training, and patience, we know that the Neverland Litter will grow up to become good canine citizens. If your family is ready to welcome handsome Hook into your home, ask to meet him today.

Andora and her babies are friendly, interactive, and beyond lovable. Abu is a little ball of joyful puppy energy. Interactive, curious, and ready for an adventure, Abu can't wait to explore everything in his environment. A toy aficionado, Abu, like his sisters, loves all things, rolly, squeaky, and crunchy. He is hoping his forever family has plenty of toys to keep him occupied for hours. Living in a foster home with other dogs and having already been exposed to cats, Abu is lucky to be gaining experiences with a variety of other creatures. As the little guy moves forward it is critical that his forever family continues to provide Abu with opportunities to socialize with new people, other animals, and in new environments. This will help Abu develop into a stable and confident adult dog. Although Abu is a charmer, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with endless puppy antics. With time, training, patience, and socialization, we are sure that Abu will develop into the good canine citizen we know he is destined to be. If Abu sounds like the right match for your family, put in your application today! The "A Litter" puppies will be available for adoption as of May 1st.

Updates:

Abu was adopted as a puppy into an incredible family that adored him. They recognized early on that Abu was showing prey drive, toy drive, and needed additional social support in controlled settings. Recognizing that training would be key to his success, they found a trainer that understood working breeds and began building a foundation for success. Although they took all of the right steps, Abu proved to be a little too much for their household. Knowing that a better match was out there for Abu, his family surrendered him back to MAGSR so that we could help him find that perfect family. We know this was an incredibly difficult decision. However, they did what they knew was best for their sweet boy.

Abu is an active, affectionate, and agile pup. Ready to take on the world, this boy has endless energy and drive. He must be placed with an active family that will exercise both his body and his mind on a daily basis. Abu loves trying new things particularly when food or praise is involved. In many ways he can be a firecracker with a strong will to please. With a strong and spirited personality, Abu can be very reactive with new creatures and in new environments. As Abu was building a foundation with a trainer prior to his return, our team decided that he would be most successful if we continued to build that foundation for success. As a result, he has been placed with one of our incredible training partners to continue this process. Over the last few weeks, Abu has been building a solid foundation for doggy manners. It is believed that his reactivity is largely fear-based. As a result, training and confidence building will be key to his success. Abu does very well with a good balance of work and play. He is developing key skills while also enjoying daily farm walks and plenty of playtime. Having lived in a home, Abu is crate trained and house broken. He loves adventures and is very well behaved when in the car. Abu will continue to work with one of our trainers to further solidify his foundational skills over the next few weeks. When ready, Abu will be looking for a family that will provide him with the structure, routine, and daily opportunities to meet with success. If this handsome little "pocket rocket" is the right match for your family, ask to meet him today!

Although we know this was a difficult decision, they knew that MAGSR would find Jake a loving forever family that would help him meet with success. 

Jake is a big, handsome guy. It is clear that he has been well socialized and enjoys the company of people and other animals. As a young, working-line shepherd, Jake has boundless energy. He loves to run, play, and learn every day. A very intelligent guy, it is critical that Jake's forever family takes the time to exercise both his body and his mind on a daily basis. This will help Jake maintain a calm and confident personality. With a few commands already under his belt, Jake is ready to move forward with training. Training will not only help him create a strong and healthy ond with his forever family, but it will also help him exercise his mind on a daily basis.

As a result, he knows many of the ins and outs of living inside. He is housebroken and crate trained. Typical of many dogs, Jake does best in a crate when he is alone so that he is safe and calm. Jake, like any new dog, will need time to adjust to his forever family. With structure, routine, and leadership, we know he will thrive.

DESCRIPTION:

Full-loving Patterson is the life of the party. This handsome guy was picked up as a stray in the south. Although he waited for his family to reclaim him, no one came forward. Shelter staff immediately recognized that this goofy boy would be an incredible candidate for a loving home so that placed him up for adoption. Patterson waited patiently again for the right family. However, with overwhelming numbers of animals entering the shelter every day, Patterson was on borrowed time. Staff members did everything they could to help Patterson find a loving forever home. Unfortunately, many dogs come into shelters over capacity but fewer make it out. At the last second we learned about Patterson's likely fate. Fortunately, with the help of some other groups, we were able to bring this guy to safety so that he can find the adoring forever family we know is waiting for him. 

Patterson is a friendly fellow who has earned the title social butterfly in playgroups. He seems to expertly avoid conflicts within groups and makes fast friends with other canine companions. A master gamer, this boy can turn just about anything into a game guaranteeing endless laughter and entertainment. Known for his delightful zoomie sessions, Patterson is a nice mix of playfulness and affection. True of most shepherds, Patterson likes to take a second to initiate new relationships with people. However, once comfortable, he is friendly and silly with his people. An energetic guy, this boy is looking for an active family that will help him exercise both his body and his mind on a daily basis. Playful and silly, Patterson tries to find the fun in all situations. It is important that his forever family provide him with the structure, routine, and leadership needed to meet with success. With time, patience, structure, and training, we know Patterson will meet with success. If you are looking for an adventurous guy to bring endless laughs and a good snuggle into your home, ask to meet Patterson today!

Updates:

Pockets is an amazing little girl. Of all the puppies her foster parents have fostered over the past 10+ years, Pockets is the FIRST to not only teach herself how to go UP and DOWN the stairs (whhaaat?) but also she is probably 90% potty trained- again, all on her own! She uses her foster sister and brothers as guides for knowing What To Do, and loves to play. She is still working on basic commands (sit, stay). She is incredibly smart and would do well in an environment with a lot of stimulation, or maybe even as a service dog!!! She definitely needs to be around other dogs, so her foster parents highly recommend she go to a house with other dogs she can play with.

DESCRIPTION:

Handsome Granite was picked up as a stray in a busy city. Although he was very good with staff members at the shelter, due to overwhelming numbers of dogs needing placement Granite was placed on the list to be euthanized. Fortunately, another rescue was visiting the shelter to meet some other dogs when they came upon Granite. Knowing we were hoping to help this guy move forward before it was too late, they evaluated him and helped him move safely into the MAGSR family. Teamwork really does save lives. 

Granite is currently living with an amazing foster family. They are giving him endless opportunities to meet with success in a safe and patient environment. Although Granite enjoys his people, it is clear that he hasn't always been treated kindly. He can be a little jumpy with new people, particularly if they bring their hands up over his head. With a little time and patience, Granite warms up nicely and can't wait to play, interact, and snuggle. Although we do not know much about Granite's past, we do know that his future is bright. He is currently learning the ins and outs of living in a household. It is highly evident that this guy is a quick learner and is excited to be in a home. Like all new dogs, Granite will need some time to adjust to the structure, routines, and expectations of his forever family. However, he is currently building a good foundation. Granite, like all GSDs, will benefit greatly from training. Not only will training help him build a strong relationship with his forever family, but it will also help him build the skills and confidence needed to become a good canine citizen. 

Unfortunately, we have learned that Granite is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have easily been avoided if he had been kept on monthly heartworm preventatives. Although treatment is expensive, we know that Granite is more than worth the cost. Already in the beginning stages of treatment, we are committed to helping Granite receive the medical care needed to move forward safely. Please consider donating to Granite's care as this will not only help us meet his needs, but it will also help us meet the needs of other dogs with medical needs. Granite will need to take it easy over the next few months while he undergoes treatment. If this handsome guy sounds like a good match for your family, ask to meet him today!

This will help all of the babies develop into stable and confident adults. Although they are being raised together, each of these babies has unique qualities. Belle is definitely the Belle of the ball. She greatly enjoys socializing with all of her brothers and sisters. However, after a good party, she is beyond content to settle in for a good cuddle. Although Belle is a doll, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your household with endless puppy antics. With time, training, patience and routine, we know that Belle will develop into a good canine citizen.

Unfortunately, no one stepped forward to bring this lovely, young pup home. Unable to sustain such high numbers, shelters are euthanizing animals daily. With her stray hold completed and no where to go, Parsley was moved to the euthanasia room. She was incredibly lucky when another rescue stepped in at the last minute to save her life. Although they knew they would need to find a breed specific rescue for Parsley, this girl was too special to leave behind. When asked if we could transfer Parsley into our care, we knew the MAGSR family was the right match for this girl.

Parsley is young, sweet, energetic, and intelligent. She was clearly well-socialized with people and seems to enjoy the company of other dogs. Having gone through several changes in the last week, Parsley has remained sweet and affectionate, but has shown us that change can be a little unsettling for the lovely lady. She is looking for a family that will give her time to decompress and learn the ropes in her forever home. As is true of all shepherds, Parsley will flourish with structure, routine, and leadership. With these pieces in place, we cannot wait to see Parsley thrive. Already a fan of playtime and adventures, Parsley is hoping that her forever family has plenty of toys and are ready to be entertained for hours with her antics. Training will go a long way with Parsley. Not only will training help Parsley create a strong and healthy connection with her family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. If Parsley sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet this stunning girl today!

DESCRIPTION:

The Hundred Acre Woods Puppies - Winnie, Piglet, Eeyore, and Tigger - were confiscated in the south due to cruelty and neglect. These babies had been placed in a small, confined area filled with garbage and feces. Unable to fend for themselves, they had limited access to water and were found without access to any food. Due to these horrifying conditions, when animal control officers arrived, the babies were immediately confiscated and brought to a loving foster family that began their road to recovery. Although the pups were finally receiving the care and interaction needed to meet with success, a rescue plea went out as extreme overcrowding has significantly limited shelter's ability to meet the needs of all of the animals in their care. These babies needed safe passage to move forward and MAGSR and another GSD rescue in the area, All Shepherd Rescue, were ready to help. 

Working collaboratively with ASR, we were able to ensure that all of the puppies within the 100 Acre Woods litter had a rescue option and loving foster home ready for their arrival. These babies are in many ways your typical GSD puppies. They are playful, interactive, full of energy and puppy snuggles. Although they had a rough start, the puppies are incredibly resilient and are ready for forever families that will cherish them for a lifetime. Although Eeyore is cute as can be, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with endless puppy antics. With time, training, patience, and structure, we know the 100 Acre Puppies are destined to be incredible adult dogs. If your family is ready for endless hours of puppy joy, please ask to meet Eeyore today!

DESCRIPTION:

Molly is the mom to the 11 Hogwarts puppies. This family was part of a cruelty and neglect case within Maryland. Upon their arrival at the shelter, staff did everything they could to begin working with this family. They were able to foster Molly's puppies out within the MAGSR family; however, Molly needed to remain at the shelter while she awaited a decision on her case. Although she was extremely emaciated, covered with fleas, and weak, Molly appreciated the kindness of staff members and slowly began warming up to new people. Shelter staff worked hard to help Molly begin the recovery process and began getting her some much needed vetting. However, Molly was significantly weakened by the years of mal-treatment and the need to keep her puppies healthy and strong. As a result, a case of kennel cough quickly escalated. When volunteers came through to move Molly into the MAGSR family, they knew something was not right. Molly's kennel cough had evolved and become two-fold. She now had pneumonia and bronchitis. Fortunately, our team came together to ensure that Molly was safe and received all the care she needed. With time, patience, and some extra TLC, Molly has made significant strides. Her body is much stronger and she is ready to move forward. 

Molly is an intelligent and energetic dog. She is looking for an active and experienced forever family that will help her meet her full potential. Having survived horrifying conditions in her previous household, Molly is looking for a home where she can be the focus of the family. A home where she can be the only pet would be her ideal situation. This way she can soak up all of the love and attention of her family while filling their lives with giggles, snuggles, and endless kisses. As she continues to move forward, Molly will need to exercise her body and her mind on a daily basis. Not only will this help her find a good balance within the household but it will also help her use her mind effectively. Molly is a big fan of toys and can be found playfully throwing them around while making her goofy sounds. She is good at keeping herself entertained but also enjoys a good game of fetch. This smart little lady is already picking up commands. She is learning to sit, down, drop it, come, and roll over. She can't wait to learn more! Food and praise motivated, Molly will be a blast at training. Training is essential as it will help Molly develop a strong, healthy bond with her family. It will also help her further develop her skills and socialization so that she can develop into a good canine citizen. Molly is looking for an active home that will provide her with a lifetime of love and attention. Could that be with you?

Intelligent little Sampson came to MAGSR as an owner-surrender with two of his littermates. His previous family realized they were overwhelmed and couldn’t raise a large number of dogs the way they felt these pups deserved. So, they made the decision to surrender the pups to MAGSR. We know this was a very difficult decision, but we also know that this family wanted these pups to have endless love, attention, and opportunities. We are still learning about Sampson at this time. What we do know is he was loved and adored by his previous family and is looking for a forever family that will help him continue to move forward.

Sampson is an independent momma's boy. Once you are part of Sampson's family, he loves hard. This is especially true with his foster mom. Bonding quickly to his people, Sampson, like most GSDs, has energy and likes to be active as long as he people are not far behind. As a brave guy, Sampson is always up for a new challenge and loves learning new things. A huge fan of treats, this guy is motivated easily and picks up new skills easily. Confident in many situations, Sampson likes to lead and is the pack leader when it comes to his furry friends. As is true with all shepherds, it is critical that Sampson's forever family continue to socialize him in new people, animals, and in varied environments. These skills will help him develop into a stable adult shepherd. In addition, it is imperative that Sampson attend training. Not only will training help Sampson build a strong and healthy bond with his forever family, it will also help him develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. If Sampson's adventurous spirit and outgoing personality sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet him today!

This handsome guy has also learned sit and place. As he develops new skills, Sampson's foster family is doing a great job challenging him with the next skills. Although he loves an adventure and plenty of toys, Sampson is also one incredible cuddler. He adores his people and easily wins over new friends. Once comfortable, he is affectionate and wiggly. It is hard not to smile with his goofy behavior. Sampson is looking for an active family that will adore him. Could that family be you?

Marley and her seven incredible Disney puppies (Jasmine, Eric, Phillip, Aladdin, Aurora, Ariel, and Belle) were dumped at a shelter that was over-capacity. Although Marley is an incredible mom who was doing everything to help her babies grow, a crowded shelter environment is not a safe place for any animal, particularly a young family. Recognizing that Marley and her babies needed help and fast, the shelter immediately sent out a plea for help. As puppy season is in full swing, many rescues have been inundated with puppies. This situation has further elevated the importance of spaying and neutering pets as the number of homeless animals is simply unsustainable. Rescues want to help; however, many groups are just as overwhelmed as the shelters. Fortunately, MAGSR's incredible team came together to help Marley and her pups move forward in the safety of the rescue family. 

The Disney puppies and their phenomenal mother, Marley, have been living with one of our amazing foster families. Surrounded by loving and caring people, each member of the family has had all that they needed and more. These babies have had endless opportunities to learn, grow, and explore. This socialization is essential to their success. As the Disney puppies move forward, their families will need to continue to socialize them with varied people, animals, and in different environments. This will help all of the babies develop into stable and confident adults. Although they are being raised together, each of these babies has unique qualities. Aladdin has a big, bright personality. He is social, adventurous, and enjoys interacting with everyone. His sweet personality is contagious and he easily wins over new friend both human and canine. Although Aladdin is cute as a button, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your household with endless puppy antics. With time, training, patience and routine, we know that Aladdin will develop into a good canine citizen.

Beautiful Bansky was found wandering around an apartment complex. He was clearly cold, starving, and in need of immediate help. Fortunately, a good Samaritan found Banksy and did what they could to help him. Bringing him to a shelter, they hoped that Banksy would find his forever family. Although he waited for his family to come and claim him, no one came forward for this sweet boy. Unfortunately, the shelter, like so many others, is sitting at critical capacity. As a result, Banksy needed out and fast. Knowing he would need a little help gaining weight, MAGSR pulled Banksy as soon as we heard his story. 

Banksy is in many ways your typical young shepherd. He is curious, energetic, and loves his people. This little honey was incredibly fortunate to have joined an incredible foster family that is teaching him the ins and outs of living in a home. They have already begun housebreaking and are excited to see that he is so intelligent.

As Banksy moves forward, this guy will be looking for a forever family that will provide him with structure, routine, and leadership as this will help him thrive. His forever family will also need to ensure that Banksy has plenty of opportunities to socialize with other people, animals, and in new environments. This will help Banksy as he develops into a stable and confident adult. Training will also go a long way with this little honey. Not only will training help Banksy create a forever bond with his family, but it will also help him develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Banksy is looking for an active family who will give him endless opportunities to meet with success. If he sounds like the perfect match for your family, ask to meet handsome Banksy today!

DESCRIPTION:

Novi and her family - Tej, Anshu, and Asha - were dumped on the side of a busy road in the south. With traffic flying past at high speeds, this little family was not likely to survive for long. Fortunately, a good samaritan saw what was happening and stopped to try to help the family. With an incredible stroke of good luck she was able to corral the family and convince them to hop into her car. From there she took them to a rescue friendly boarding facility. Although the authorities were contacted and a stray hold was put into effect, no one came forward. Recognizing that this family would benefit from rescue placement, a plea went out for help. MAGSR knew this family deserved the chance to move forward as a unit, so our team welcomed all four members into the rescue. 

Novi is a stable, playful, and energetic girl. Clearly well socialized with people and adults, Novi is in many ways your typical, loveable ball of energy. She loves playing with her brother and still likes to know her people are close. Although Novi is already building a solid foundation of skills, it is critical that her family continue to provide her with opportunities to socialize with new people, animals, and environments. This will help her develop into a stable adult dog. It is obvious that Novi is an absolute doll, but please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with endless puppy antics. With time, patience, and training, Novi will develop into the good canine citizen we know she is destined to become. If this little sweetheart sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today!

Updates:

Novi requires a total hip replacement which will be WELL over $10K

All too frequently people choose to inappropriately breed dogs that are not health tested, and this has led to an increase in young dogs being born with genetically poor joints, particularly hips in German Shepherds. Novi, at less than a year old, has found herself in pain as she navigates hips that do not have the ability to support her growth. MAGSR is committed to getting her the highest standard of care, which means having her on a pain management program, hydrotherapy, and a total hip replacement surgery. She will also likely need extensive physical therapy post surgery and ongoing monitoring of, and possible future surgeries on, her other joints as she grows and the joints mature. Novi has a team of dedicated veterinary staff and MAGSR volunteers helping her forward-- do you want to be a part of her happy ending? Donate to her care now, and share her story with others!

Ariel, just like her Disney moniker, is spirited, curious, and trying to find her independence. Ariel is always up for a good adventure. Although Ariel is cute as a button, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your household with endless puppy antics. With time, training, patience and routine, we know that Ariel will develop into a good canine citizen. If your household is ready to welcome this little love into your home, please ask to meet her today!

DESCRIPTION:

Marley and her seven incredible Disney puppies (Jasmine, Eric, Phillip, Aladdin, Aurora, Ariel, and Belle) were dumped at a shelter that was over-capacity. Although Marley is an incredible mom who was doing everything to help her babies grow, a crowded shelter environment is not a safe place for any animal, particularly a young family. Recognizing that Marley and her babies needed help and fast, the shelter immediately sent out a plea for help. As puppy season is in full swing, many rescues have been inundated with puppies. This situation has further elevated the importance of spaying and neutering pets as the number of homeless animals is simply unsustainable. Rescues want to help; however, many groups are just as overwhelmed as the shelters. Fortunately, MAGSR's incredible team came together to help Marley and her pups move forward in the safety of the rescue family. 

The Disney puppies and their phenomenal mother, Marley, have been living with one of our amazing foster families. Surrounded by loving and caring people, each member of the family has had all that they needed and more. It is highly evident that Marley has been an incredible mom to her magical babies. They are so very lucky to have inherited her loving personality. As Marley moves forward, she is ready to finish her job as a mother and enjoy being a member of a family where she can be cherished. An intelligent and playful girl, Marley is hoping that her forever family has plenty of toys ready for her. A big fan of fetch, this lovely lady is hoping her family loves to throw the ball. With an eagerness to learn and explore, Marley is beyond ready for her next adventure. Marley is looking for an amazing family that will provide her with the structure, routine, and leadership that all dogs need to thrive. With a few commands already under her belt, Marley is ready to start training. Not only will training help Marley create a strong and healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Marley is looking for a forever family that will play during the day and welcome plenty of snuggles at night. If Marley sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today!

DESCRIPTION:

Beautiful Bella was picked up as a stray in the south. Walking into an overcrowded shelter, this lovely lady was on borrowed time. However, with her incredibly sweet personality, shelter staff hoped that her family would come and claim her. When no one stepped forward, staff members began reaching out to rescues for help as they knew that Bella was simply too special to miss out on the incredible life she had ahead of her. Having heard their plea for help, MAGSR stepped forward to welcome Bella to the family. 

Bella has one of those amazing personalities that easily wins over the hearts and minds of everyone she meets. Sweet beyond measure and an absolute doll, this lovely lady deserves an incredible home that will cherish her for a lifetime. Although we do not know much about her past, it is clear that Bella has at some point lived in a household. She understands many of the ins and outs of living in a home. However, as is true of all GSDs, she will need some time to learn the routines and expectations of her forever family. Socialized well with other people, animals, and in varied environments, Bella seems to adjust well to change, particularly for a GSD. She rides well in the car and loves a good adventure. As is true of all dogs, Bella will benefit from training. Not only will training help Bella develop a strong bond with her forever family but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. 

Unfortunately, we have discovered that Bella is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have easily been avoided with a monthly preventative. Although heartworm treatment is expensive, Bella is clearly worth the cost. Please consider donating to Bella's care. Your donation will not only help Bella continue to move forward but it will also help us continue to support dogs with medical needs. Bella is in the beginning stages of treatment. She will need to take it easy over the next few months as she heals. If lovely Bella sounds like a good match for your household, ask to meet her today!

DESCRIPTION:

Stunning Nathan was picked up as a stray in the south. Shelter staff were beyond surprised when no one stepped forward for this incredible guy. Although they knew he would be an amazing addition to a family, unfortunately, with numbers at critical levels in most places, Nathan's time was very quickly running short. Knowing this guy was incredibly special, shelter staff began reaching out to rescues for help. Fortunately, we had a space for Nathan and were able to welcome him to the MAGSR family. 

Nathan is a handsome, intelligent, and friendly guy. Although we do not know anything about his past, it is quite obvious that he was well socialized with people and other animals. As a big, fluffy guy, Nathan easily wins over admirers. He radiates personality and has a typical goofball personality often associated with our long-hair shepherds. True of all shepherds, Nathan is looking for a forever family that will provide him with the structure, routine, and leadership he needs to thrive. As a big guy, Nathan will need to learn some leash manners and participate in training. Training will provide Nathan with a foundation of expectations, the opportunity to create a healthy bond with his family, and the skills needed to develop into a good canine citizen. At this time we do not know if Nathan has ever lived in a home. However, he is quickly getting a crash course in household living with his incredible foster family. It is likely that Nathan will, like all new dogs, need some time to adjust to the expectations and routines of his forever family. Nathan is looking for an amazing forever family that enjoys daily activities, playtime, and plenty of snuggles. If he sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet him today!

DESCRIPTION:

The Hundred Acre Woods Puppies - Winnie, Piglet, Eeyore, and Tigger - were confiscated in the south due to cruelty and neglect. These babies had been placed in a small, confined area filled with garbage and feces. Unable to fend for themselves, they had limited access to water and were found without access to any food. Due to these horrifying conditions, when animal control officers arrived, the babies were immediately confiscated and brought to a loving foster family that began their road to recovery. Although the pups were finally receiving the care and interaction needed to meet with success, a rescue plea went out as extreme overcrowding has significantly limited shelter's ability to meet the needs of all of the animals in their care. These babies needed safe passage to move forward and MAGSR and another GSD rescue in the area, All Shepherd Rescue, were ready to help. 

Working collaboratively with ASR, we were able to ensure that all of the puppies within the 100 Acre Woods litter had a rescue option and loving foster home ready for their arrival. These babies are in many ways your typical GSD puppies. They are playful, interactive, full of energy and puppy snuggles. Although they had a rough start, the puppies are incredibly resilient and are ready for forever families that will cherish them for a lifetime. Although Piglet is an absolute doll, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with endless puppy antics. With time, training, patience, and structure, we know the 100 Acre Puppies are destined to be incredible adult dogs. If your family is ready for endless hours of puppy joy, please ask to meet Piglet today!

Handsome Hank was brought home as a puppy. His family loved him a lot, but due to a change in circumstances, they needed to rehome Hank. Recognizing that Hank deserved every opportunity to meet with success, his family reached out to MAGSR to see if we could help Hank move forward. How could we possibly say no to this big, goofy boy. 

Hank is playful, energetic, and looking for a leader. In many ways, Hank is your typical puppy. He loves toys, bouncing around, and interacting with his people. Well socialized with other people, Hank is comfortable meeting new people, but he does still need to learn a few rules, such as, the importance of keeping his paws on the ground. Clearly food motivated, this guy picks up new expectations quickly. He does very well with a clear, confident, and calm handler. As is true of all shepherds, Hank will thrive with structure, routine, and leadership. He is hoping to find a forever family that will exercise both his body and his mind on a daily basis. Some time to play with toys also sounds like an ideal day to Hank. As Hank moves forward, it is essential that he participates in training.

DESCRIPTION:

The Fall puppies - Autumn, Cider, Ember, Maple, Pumpkin, and Sweet Potato (Tator) - were an accidental litter. Raised together with their parents, these dogs have had the chance to learn many doggy social skills. Although their human family enjoyed the puppies, it can be difficult to care for a large litter and challenging to find safe and loving homes. Recognizing that the Fall puppies would be most successful if placed within a breed specific rescue, their family contacted MAGSR. We promised that we would find each pup a safe and loving forever family that would cherish these babies for a lifetime. 

The Fall puppies are very large babies for their age. They are clearly big fans of food. Having spent time outside, these babies love the sights, sounds, and smells of the outdoors. So, they are hoping their forever families love adventures. Although these babies have been socialized well with their doggy family, they have not been exposed to many new people or situations. Socialization is critical to their success. Recognizing that social skills are essential as the Fall puppies move forward, our amazing volunteers are already beginning this process. Learning the ins and outs of living in a household, these babies are learning the joys of endless toys, comfortable beds, and loads of love. As they continue to move forward, all six babies will strive in households that will provide the structure, routine, and leadership that all shepherds crave. 

Although these babies are absolutely adorable, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. Puppies will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your home with endless antics. With time, training, and patience, all 6 babies - Autumn, Cider, Ember, Maple, Pumpkin, and Sweet Potato - will develop into good canine citizens. If one of the Fall puppies sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet these fluffy bundles of joy today!

Updates:

Autumn is an intelligent and spunky girl. With a goofy and silly side, Autumn keeps her foster family entertained for hours. She has clearly learned the joy of toys and is happy to play for hours. True of many of our more alpha-minded dogs, Autumn can be intense and have a lot of GSD energy. As a strong female, she is going to push boundaries and see what she can get away with. Autumn is looking for a forever family that will provide her with the structure, routine, and leadership that all GSDs need to thrive. It is important that she exercise both her body and her mind on a daily basis. As Autumn is driven and eager to please, she is the perfect candidate for training. Fortunately, Autumn's foster family has already started this process. Not a surprise, Autumn is a star student. As Autumn moves forward, continued training will be needed. Additional training will not only help Autumn create a strong and healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Autumn is looking for an active family that will provide her with adventures during the day and a good cuddle at night. If this lovely girl sounds like the right match for your family, ask to meet her today!

DESCRIPTION:

Oakley and his brother, Wicker, were living with a family that was not interested in continuing to care for the boys. Although socialized with kids, cats, and other dogs, these guys were not receiving the care they needed to move forward. Fortunately, another group heard that the boys needed help, and they stepped forward to get them out of a rough situation. Recognizing that shepherds are most successful when placed with a breed specific rescue, this rescue reached out to MAGSR to see if we could welcome the boys to the family. With an incredible team of volunteers working together between both rescues, we were able to welcome Oakley and Wicker to the MAGSR family. 

Oakley and Wicker are in many ways your typical goofy, playful, snuggly guys. They enjoy the company of their people and other animals. Living with one of our amazing foster families, these boys are learning the ins and outs of living within a household. They are getting endless opportunities to socialize with new people and in new environments. It is critical that their forever families continue this process as it will help them develop into stable and confident adult dogs. Although Oakley is absolutely adorable, please remember that puppies are a lot of work. They will whine, chew, have accidents, and fill your household with endless puppy antics.

DESCRIPTION:

Sweet Jethro was originally pulled from a high-kill shelter in California when he was three. Although his family loved Jethro dearly, when circumstances changed unexpectedly, they had no choice but to say good-bye to this handsome guy. Recognizing that Jethro needed a safe and loving place to move forward, MAGSR welcomed him to the family. Knowing that Jethro was a beloved member of the family, we promised we would find him an amazing forever family that would cherish him throughout his golden years. 

Jethro is a big, handsome, and patient guy. Having grown up with kids and other dogs of various sizes, he was well socialized with littles. The easy-going dog in the group, Jethro is not phased by much when around littles - whether furry or human. Although he was exposed to cats, Jethro has been a little too interested in them and will not be placed in a home with cats. With many of his GSD traits well established, Jethro is loyal, intelligent, and your typical velcro dog. As is typical of many GSDs, it can take Jethro a few minutes to warm up to new people; he can come across as aloof or disinterested. However, once comfortable, Jethro enjoys a good rub down and lean in. When a connection is made, it is strong. 

Having lived in a safe and loving home, Jethro understands the ins and outs of living in a household. He is housebroken and cues nicely when he needs to go out. He is also crate trained and is content in his safe space. As is expected, Jethro is a little thrown by his new circumstances and is taking some time to decompress and adjust. Our volunteers have been working hard to ensure that Jethro has everything he needs. As Jethro moves forward, he is looking for a forever family that will provide him with daily exercise, snuggles, and a soft bed. Plenty of treats would also be just fine. If your family is looking for a gentle boy that will fill your home with unending love, look no further than our sweet Jethro.

DESCRIPTION:

Calandria, affectionately called Cali, and her mom (Talia) were dumped at a shelter in the south in the fall. Cali was put out for adoption and Talia was sent to the euthanasia room. MAGSR asked for both dogs in the Fall; however, Cali was adopted out to the public. So, Talia joined the MAGSR family and moved forward in another direction. Unfortunately, at the end of January, Calandria found herself right back at the shelter. Her adoptive mom had passed away and, it seems, Cali did not have as many opportunities to socialize as we would have liked while in her care. With the shelter over-capacity, Calandria found herself in the euthanasia room that her mother barely escaped. When we discovered Calandria was back at the shelter, we stepped in and made sure she found her way to the MAGSR family. We do not leave families behind. 

Cali is stunning just like her mother. Intelligent and cuddly once comfortable, Cali is looking for a family that will give her time to decompress. This girl can be unsure, but when given time and patience, Cali does well with a calm and confident handler. She will thrive in an environment with structure, routine, and daily exercise. Still a very young dog, it is imperative that Cali's family socialize her with new people, new animals, and new environments. This will help her develop into a stable adult shepherd. Training is also essential. Not only will training help Cali develop a strong and healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her build the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. 

Cali is looking for a special forever family that will continue to support her as she moves forward. If your family is looking for a lovely, curious, and affectionate girl, ask to meet sweet Cali today!

From her foster:

So far she is super friendly with people and other dogs! She is learning house manners and crate training to prepare her for her new furever home.

Lovely Zoey was brought home with a family when she was just a baby. Although they likely had good intentions at first, as Zoey started growing she was placed in the backyard and was not getting the care, attention, or socialization needed to develop into a stable, confident, and healthy adult dog. Recognizing that they couldn't provide for her, Zoey's family decided that she needed to find a new home. Fortunately, a good Samaritan learned about Zoey's situation and stepped in to help her move forward safely. Knowing Zoey would be most successful if she found placement within a rescue, Zoey's rescuer reached out to MAGSR for help. Our team immediately began working together to provide Zoey with an option to move forward. 

Zoey is a young, energetic, and intelligent girl. She will need an active family that is willing to exercise both her body and her mind on a daily basis. Having lived a somewhat secluded life, Zoey is just now learning the ins and out of being a dog. She is being exposed to new people, new situations, and new environments. This process can be a bit of a learning curve, but Zoey seems to be adjusting well. As Zoey continues to move forward, it is critical that her family continue this socialization process as it will help her build confidence and develop stability. The past few weeks have been filled with new experiences as well as new people and new toys. Zoey enjoys the company of her people and often greets them with big tail wags and affection. As is true of all shepherds, Zoey is looking for a family that will provide her with routine, structure, and leadership. Training is an essential piece of Zoey's future. Not only will training help her create a strong and healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen.

Beautiful Bansky was found wandering around an apartment complex. He was clearly cold, starving, and in need of immediate help. Fortunately, a good Samaritan found Banksy and did what they could to help him. Bringing him to a shelter, they hoped that Banksy would find his forever family. Although he waited for his family to come and claim him, no one came forward for this sweet boy. Unfortunately, the shelter, like so many others, is sitting at critical capacity. As a result, Banksy needed out and fast. Knowing he would need a little help gaining weight, MAGSR pulled Banksy as soon as we heard his story. 

Banksy is in many ways your typical young shepherd. He is curious, energetic, and loves his people. This little honey was incredibly fortunate to have joined an incredible foster family that is teaching him the ins and outs of living in a home. They have already begun housebreaking and are excited to see that he is so intelligent. Getting extra, high-quality food, Banksy is now getting the nutrition needed to fill his belly and help him grow. As Banksy moves forward, this guy will be looking for a forever family that will provide him with structure, routine, and leadership as this will help him thrive. His forever family will also need to ensure that Banksy has plenty of opportunities to socialize with other people, animals, and in new environments. This will help Banksy as he develops into a stable and confident adult. Training will also go a long way with this little honey. Not only will training help Banksy create a forever bond with his family, but it will also help him develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Banksy is looking for an active family who will give him endless opportunities to meet with success. If he sounds like the perfect match for your family, ask to meet handsome Banksy today!

DESCRIPTION:

Sweet Maggie came to MAGSR as an owner-surrender with two of her littermates. Her previous family realized they were overwhelmed and couldn’t raise a large number of dogs the way they felt these pups deserved. So, they made the decision to surrender the pups to MAGSR. We know this was a very difficult decision, but we also know that this family wanted these pups to have endless love, attention, and opportunities. We are still learning about Maggie at this time. What we do know is she was loved and adored by her previous family and is looking for a forever family that will help her move forward with basic obedience, structure, and boundaries.

Here is what Maggie's foster has to say about her:

“Maggie is an absolute love bug with the sweetest eyes that speak volumes; she truly only wants to be around her people 24/7.  She is not only the most adorable puppy, but smart and eager to please!  It helps that she is treat and food motivated, as she is quickly picking up what boundaries are and what is acceptable behavior.  She’s learning the crate isn’t a bad place, but a place to decompress and take a minute away from her large and furry foster brother.  Maggie loves it when her tiny human sister gets her out of the crate, and greets everyone with adorable puppy kisses!  She still has the faint smell of puppy breath and her coat is 100% puppy fluff!  Maggie sure knows how to welcome you from your long journey (if she wasn’t velcroed to your side) from either the kitchen, bathroom, living room or even a long day at school/work with the most adorable puppy-butt-wiggles, puppy-hops all the while staring you down with 1,000% puppy eyes filled with nothing but love! 

Maggie is doing very well learning basic obedience including sitting, walking on a leash, potty training while understanding what structure and boundaries are.  She is always looking up for approval, and tiny motivational treats go a long way!”

As with any puppy, her furever family will need to provide the essentials -  training, structure, boundaries, routines, and continued guidance.

If Maggie sounds like your ideal ‘FURever’ companion, please consider adopting her!

DESCRIPTION:

Beetlejuice is a big, friendly boy who was picked up in the south as a stray. He was brought to an overcrowded shelter where he waited for his family to claim him. Although Beetlejuice waited patiently for his family, no one came to claim him. When no one stepped forward, he, like so many others, was moved to the euthanasia room as shelters simply cannot keep up with the number of animals arriving at their door on a daily basis. As a big, goofy, playful guy, we knew Beetlejuice deserved a forever family that would cherish him for a lifetime. So, our team moved quickly and succeeded in welcoming Beetlejuice to the safety of the MAGSR family just before his time was up. 

Beetlejuice is one handsome guy. As a young and energetic boy, he is looking for an active forever family that loves adventures. It is critical that Beetlejuices' forever family not only exercise his body, but that they also exercise his mind on a daily basis. This will help him remain a balanced and happy guy. Throughout his time at the shelter, Beetlejuice regularly attended play groups, and he enjoyed his furry companions. He has likely been socialized well with other dogs. As is true of all shepherds, Beetlejuice is looking for a family that will provide him with structure, routine, and leadership. In addition, Beetlejuice is looking forward to participating in training. Training will not only help Beetlejuice build a strong and healthy relationship with his forever family, but it will also help him develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. 

Unfortunately, we have learned that Beetlejuice is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have been avoided if his people had provided him with monthly heartworm prevention. We have already begun the first steps of Beetlejuice's treatment. However, he will need a few months to rest and recover. Heartworm treatment is expensive, but Beetlejuice is clearly worth the cost. Please consider donating to his care as, in doing so, you not only help Beetlejuice move forward, but you also help us continue to welcome dogs with medical needs. Beetlejuice is a goofy guy who is looking for a family that will commit to him for a lifetime, could that be with you?
